TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal (LC) materials, and in particular relates to an LC composition with extremely-low dielectric loss that is suitable for filters, adjustable frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs), microwave phase shifters, microwave phased array antennas, or the like, and a high-frequency component including the same.

BACKGROUND

LC materials are widely used in optoelectronic display devices. In recent years, it has also been proposed that LC materials can be used for high-frequency components such as microwave phase shifters. For example, LC-based microwave phase shifters have been reported in the following literatures:

Muller S. et al. (2004). Tunable passive phase shifter for microwave applications using highly anisotropic liquid crystals. Microwave Symposium Digest, 2004 IEEE MTT-S International.

The dielectric tunability of an LC material in a microwave phase shifter determines the tuning capability of the microwave phase shifter. The dielectric tunability (τ) of an LC material is determined by the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) of the LC material at high frequencies and a dielectric constant (ε_(//)) in a parallel direction of molecules:

τ=Δε/ε_(//)

A dielectric loss of an LC material is an important factor affecting an insertion loss of a corresponding microwave device. In order to fabricate a high-performance LC microwave device, it is necessary to reduce a dielectric loss of a corresponding LC material. A loss tangent of an LC material varies with an LC molecule orientation and an electric field direction, that is, losses in long axis and short axis directions of an LC molecule are different. When a loss of an LC material is calculated, a maximum loss value is generally adopted, that is, max(tan δ_(//), tan δ_(⊥)) is adopted as a loss of the LC material.

In order to comprehensively evaluate the performance parameters of an LC material under microwave, a quality factor (η) parameter is introduced:

η=τ/max(tan δ_(//),tan δ_(⊥)).

LC materials or high-frequency components need to have large dielectric tunability (τ), low loss (tan δ_(//), tan δ_(⊥)), and high quality factor (η). The existing disclosed LC materials for high-frequency components have large dielectric loss, such that corresponding high-frequency components have large insertion loss and low working efficiency, which becomes a technical bottleneck for the industrialization of LC-based microwave devices. Therefore, it is urgent to achieve the reduction in dielectric loss for LC materials.

In addition, in order to meet practical application requirements, LC materials for high-frequency components also need to have a wide operating temperature range, especially the performance at a low operating temperature needs to be improved. In order to meet the requirements of fast switching work of high-frequency components, LC materials also need to have low rotational viscosity. In order to allow high-frequency components to work under the driving of an electric field, LC materials also need to have an appropriate dielectric constant at a low frequency such as 1 KHz.

A dielectric constant of an LC material at a high frequency is related to the birefringence of LC, as shown in the following formula:

Δn=n _(e) −n _(o)=√{square root over (ε_(∥))}−√{square root over (ε_(⊥))}

Thus, in order to obtain a high dielectric constant, an LC material also needs to have high birefringence.

The existing commercial high-birefringence LC materials, such as cyanobiphenyl or terphenyl-containing LC materials E7 and E44 reported in “Characterisation and Applications of Nematic Liquid Crystals in Microwave Devices”, Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2011, 542 (1): 196/[718]-203/[725], have the disadvantages of low tunability and large loss at high frequencies.

Patent CN103443245A discloses an LC medium including a bis-diphenylacetylene LC material, which may have a structure shown in the following formula:

Although the above compound has a high quality factor at a high frequency, the rotational viscosity (γ₁) of the above compound is as high as 2,100 mPa·s, which leads to the defect of slow response. Moreover, the above compound has a small dielectric constant only of 0.8 at a low frequency.

A fluorobenzyne LC compound is disclosed in Patent CN 103429704 A:

Although the compound has large birefringence (Δn=0.35) and prominent performance at a high frequency, the rotational viscosity γ₁ of the compound is 1,300 mPa·s, resulting in slow response.

CN107955630A and CN105368465A each disclose an LC composition with an NCS group as a molecular end and a fluorine-substituted benzene ring as a molecular skeleton. The LC composition has large dielectric constant and high tunability at a high frequency, but has large dielectric loss. In embodiments disclosed in the above patents, a maximum dielectric loss tan δ_(⊥) (19 GHz) is 0.01 or above.

CN110499163A and US2019292458A1 each disclose an LC composition with an NCS group as a molecular end and a fluorine-substituted benzene ring as a molecular skeleton. In embodiments disclosed in the above patents, a maximum dielectric loss tan δ_(⊥) (19 GHz) is greater than or equal to 0.083.
